Not sure what to say?

Jim, Sorry to hear of the passing of your father. There are two ways of remembering our loved ones who leave us and start another journey. We either cry over their absence, or smile and remember them through the countless memories that have stayed back. Smile forever as you remember your father. He is watching over you now. Stay strong.

Mrs.Strawder and family, I am so very sorry for your loss and I wish I could say something to make your grief easier but I know I can not. I always enjoyed coming to see Mr. James and visiting with all of you! I will keep
you in my prayers.
